Okay so like all good diets mine is starting tomorrow... I am truly hopeless these days at actually sticking to a diet... in the last three years, I have successfully dieted twice.. well I say successfully, obviously I lost all of the weight I intended to lose, however I put it back on again or I wouldn't actually be needing to diet again now would I... so it was a tad unsuccessful in that respect.
Anyway my first big diet at the end of 2006/beginning of 2007, I lost 5 stone, I was down to a size 12 (in fact one skirt was a 10 - probably mislabelled though!!) and I was totally pleased with myself, I never cheated once on the diet, I just did it... It was the Cambridge Diet Sole Source programme and I thought it was the best diet ever.. in fact if I could have never eaten another morsel of food again, I'd still be a happy skinny me.. but alas food did once again pass my lips and after about a year, I'd put most of it back on.. give it a few months more and I had put it all back on!
So, fast forward to June 2009, where I was actually heavier than I had been the first time I started the diet in June 06, heavier by a full stone! I embarked on Cambridge SS again... and I lost about 4 stone I think it was, so I hadn't got down to my previous slinkyness but I was happy enough to start letting food slide down my throat again... so before I even reached goal I started to put some on.. and right now, I am 9lbs lighter than when I started in June 09.. so before I put that 9lbs on again and actually announce to the world that I put every last pound back on, I thought I may start to diet now! I have 5 stone to lose to be down to size 12 again, or 6 stone to lose to make it to my lightest weight for about 20 years!!!!
I was a skinny child, I never started to put weight on at all until I discovered takeaways at about 18 .. yes until then an Indian or Chinese takeaway had never been eaten! So I blame my boyfriend at the time for introducing these evil but delicious treats to me and therefore causing my weight battle...! The rest of my adult life I have generally hovered around the size 14 mark.. until the recent years where I have jumped to a size 18 (or a size 16 when I am being awkward and refusing to buy any larger clothes - its amazing what you can do if you pull the skirt up to your ribs and leave the zip halfway undone!
I have been attempting to start a diet now for at least 4 weeks, if I'm honest its been more like 4 months of "I'll diet tomorrow" something always tempts me away from starting.
I have temporarily moved back into my parents house at the beginning of December due to my landlady wishing to move back into her house. Mum constantly nags me to lose weight and cooks me very healthy meals, so it has been a challenge to eat something naughty.. and I love a challenge! So instead of viewing this as an opportunity to lose weight and embark on a healthy eating plan, I have instead developed a sneaky challenge of smuggling wine or biscuits into my temporary bedroom and stuffing my face merrily - even worse, I have been going to the gym now for nearly 2 months, about 2 weeks ago I noticed it was the ideal opportunity to stuff my face!!! I shout to my mum that I am off to the gym.. and then I go to Morrisons/KFC/McDonalds* (*delete as appropriate) and eat instead!
What is most shocking is that I pat myself on the back for successfully completing my sneaky mission instead of feeling guilty about a) lying b) eating!
Today, was going to be day one of my FINAL EVER DIET, but I had to nip to Post Office to post some letters for work and this was too good an opportunity to miss, I rang the local cafe and ten minutes later a Sausage, Egg & Bacon sandwich was in my grubby (just a turn of speech, they were clean really) little mitts!
So here's to day one ..... again... tomorrow
